New Delhi: Apart from amending technical specifications, a committee comprising officials from Indian Air Force, National Security Advisor’s office, Special Protection Group and Ministry of Defence had also revised the number of helicopters to be bought from 8 to 12.
From March 7, 2005 on, British defence agent Christian Michel stayed in Delhi for 4-5 days and returned to Dubai after interacting with his contacts, whom the sleuths are now chasing. Again on April 20, he flew in from Dubai and stayed for two days in Delhi before leaving for London. His visits during the crucial phase is important as, according to a statement from the Defence Ministry in February this year, the operational requirements were deliberated over meetings between March 2005- September 2006.
